"If I'm the nominee, Republicans will be sorry," said Biden, a Roman Catholic who ran for president in 1988. "The next Republican that tells me I'm not religious I'm going to shove my rosary beads down their throat."

Biden said that in most cases, Democrats have themselves to blame for losing in so-called red states such as Kentucky and Ohio.

"We have put up too many candidates who can't connect with middle-class Americans," he said. "In the last two (presidential elections), the Democratic Party has lost its base, the middle-class votes. ... And we have played into the hands of the Republicans. We've allowed so-called social issues to be so divisive."

State Sen. Julian Carroll, a Frankfort Democrat and former governor, agreed. He said the party has to seek out the voters it is losing to Republican candidates.

"If we define who we are, the middle class will vote Democratic again," Carroll said.

...now now Joe, calm down, go read a book and suddenly come up with something original

sure thing joe, of course you would do that after you pulled them out of your butt, since that is what you think of god anyways. on the one hand, this is very good, we need more dems pretending to be god loving. after all, in doing so, all sane people will see what utter liars they really are.

(I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it.)

"The truth of the matter is the Democratic Party has, of the last two elections, lost its base - middle-class votes," Biden said. "We have disconnected from them, my party. And we have also played into the hands of the Republicans, in my view, in that we've allowed the so-called social issues to be so divisive."

Get real Joe. You think a better fiscal policy with a few more sops to the middle class will make us forget that you are the party that wants to teach third graders how to put condoms on bananas, give intrusive sex surveys to first graders, and let junior high girls have abortions without their parents knowledge.

Unless the GOP goes 1996 again, Senator Biden, most would relish your being the nominee. Of course, you will have to step over Kerry-Kennedy, no small feat -- unless Teddy diets again, and get in front of HRClinton. Visualize that, Senator--having HRClinton on your backside. Do you have eyes in the back of your head? Do you have the cajones to challenge her????

"We have put up too many candidates who can't connect with middle-class Americans," he said. "In the last two (presidential elections), the Democratic Party has lost its base, the middle-class votes..."

That's a wild roundhouse punch thrown at Gore and Kerry.

The plagiarist fancies himself a pugilist.

Nice to see he's starting with the already-beaten-silly pugs before working his way up through the ranks. He'll never get past Butterbean Hillary though, so Republicans don't have to study his tapes.

"And we have played into the hands of the Republicans. We've allowed so-called social issues to be so divisive."

That's a howling lie. They lost because they insulted, and routinely abused and humiliated middle America and voters who are not 'cool' enough to be atheists. Myself, I am NOT a bible thumper but I am sure that a little of their Liberal gratuitous insolence went a long way with American voters. It wasn't only about faith, it was about national security and patriotism. The Liberals tried as they always do to make 'patriotism' a dirty word with Americans and found that this country was filled to gorging with that BS after Viet Nam and was NOT having any more of it. This guy needs to take his head out of his a&% and admit what really happened.
